The Collision of the Celtic and Britannia.

The steamer Celtic, OF the White Star line'
which was in collision with the Britannia,
reached the dock in New York on Monday
the oath inst. The officers OF both steam
ers will say but little. Capt. Perry, OF the
Britannia, declares:
The Celtic was to blame in that she did
not back at full speed, for that would
have helped the Britannia to clear, or at
least to lessen the blow, but there seems
to have been no alteration made in the
speed OF the vessel.
Capt. Irving, OF the Celtic, says:
Shortly after noon on the 10Th, when
about 800 miles east OF Sandy Hook, we
ran into a fog. l reduced steam about one
half and began blowing whistles at regular
intervals. Extra lookouts were station
ed and every precaution taken to
to prevent collision. It was little
after o'clock when heard the whistle OF
another steamer off urstarboard bow. 1t
seemed at such distance that l did not
think there was any danger OF our meeting.
A few minutes later the same whistle
sounded again-this time much nearer l
rang the bell to stop the engines, but just
then the Brittanic loomed up on our star
board, apparently trying to cross our
bows. 1 ordered our engines stopped, but
it was too late, and our m omentum carried
us into the Brittancs port side.
The official list Of the wounded and killed
is as follows: Killed-James Finburg, Jane
Robinson, James Greenalch, Adam Ohm
son; the last two missing and supposed to
have been killed. Wounded-Elizabeth
Wainwright East Hamilton, Mass; Mary
Griffin, Southport, England; David Rick
etts, NJ. Donoghue, address unknown; Mark
Allen, address not given; William Lalor,
Queens county, Ireland; Patrick Burke
County Mayo, Ireland; NJ. A. Robinson,
aged thirteen (brother OF Robinson in list
OF killed.)

The National Drill at Washington.

The flag at camp Washington. WAS hoist
ed on Monday morning the 23d inst.
The Washington Light Infantry corps OF
this district marched IN and formed in
hollow square about the camp ground
flagstaff. Gen. Augur and his staff enter
ed the square and the Chaplain invoked
divine blessing upon the camp. the flag
was hoisted to the masthead, the troops
presented arms and the surrounding
crowds cheered. The cadet band OF Mil
waukee, composed Of thirty five boys
some very young-was given the place OF
honor and played at the ceremony OF un-
furlng the flag. At the dress
parade only 500 soldiers were present but
many more would arrive.
The headquarters Of the Minnesota COM
panies had the appearance OF a we'll organ
lied, well disciplined camp. Captains Bean
and Avery expressed themselves well salts
fed with the location and quarters and
the men appeared comfortable and happy.
Leaves were granted during the day and
little squads went out sightseeing into vari-
Gus portions OF the city. At the dress par
ade the comp anies showed up to magnifi-
cent advantage and were highly spoken Of.
After q part OF the day spent in the
department, Gov. McGill and party
drove out to the soldiers home north
of Washington and spent a couple OF
hours inspecting the buildings and
grounds. They returned about O'Clock
and drove down to camp, where they were
welcomed by the Minnesota soldiers.
They stayed until after dress parade, and
in the evening attended the theater.

The Driven Well Patent Sustained.

The United States supreme court an
nounced decisions in about twenty cases
and then adjourned. Among the cases Of
general interest was the following:
Harris Eames against w. d. Andrews
and others; appeal from the United States
district court for the District OF Connecti-
cut.
The controversy relates to the validity
Of the ''driven well patent"
The Importance of this litigation and
the extent to which the people OF the
country are interested in it are shown by
the fact that the number OF driven wells in
the United States is between 500, 900 and
100000. The court holds:
First-That the grounds upon which it
is sought to invaldate the reissued patent
invention from that described in the origi-
nal patent, cannot be sustained.
Second-That the invention had not
been anticipated by others.
Third-That there is d clear cause OF in
fringment. The validity OF reissued pat
ent No. 4. 372 is sustained. w. Green is
therefore sustained and the decree of the
circuit court affirmed. Opinion by Judge
Matthew.
A. T. Beedle against Frank d. Bennett
and others; appeal from the United States
circuit court for the Northern district Of
Ohio.
This is also q driven well patent case.
Upon the grounds set forth in the opinion
OF the preceding case, the validity OF the
patent is sustained and the appellant held
liable for iniringment. The effect OF these
decisions is to make all users OF driven
wells not authorized under the patent, II.
able to damages for infringment:
The sun., 1887-06-02
affect the Withdrawals, the court con-

cludes:
The title OF the plaintiff therefore rests
upon the settlement upon odd sections OF
land within five miles OF tho Des Moines
river, which were reserved from sale or
pre-emption at the timo the settlements
were made, Two OF tho settlements, which
are the foundation OF the plaintiffs bill,
were made in May 1862, only few days
before the passage of the act OF July in the
same year. and one OF the settlements un-
der which the plaintiff claims was made
after the passage OF this act. The title
was transferred by that act to the state OF
Iowa for the original purpose OF the grant
OF 1916. The object OF this bill is to have
a declaration OF the court that the title OF
the plaintiff under those settlements and
preemption is superior to the title conferr-
ed by congress on the state. OF
Iowa and her grantees under the
act OF July II, 1862. Ii the land was at
the time OF these settlements and pre-
emption declarations effectually withdrawn
from settlement, sale or preemption by
the orders OF the department which we
have considered there is an end to the
plaintiffs title, for by that withdrawal
the lands wero reserved for another pnr-
pose, to which they were ultimately APP
piled by the act OF 1862, and no title could
be established or initiated because the
land department had no right to grant.
This proposition will be found supported
by former decisions Of this court which are
decisions of the whole controversy. The
judgment OF the supreme court OF Iowa
founded on the same view OF the subject
as set fourth is there fore affirmed.

A Strong Tinge of Romance.

The following was sent out by spe-
ciai from New York to the Western
papers: A remarkably peculiar story,
with more than an ordinary tinee OF
romance, came to light in this city
recently, when Col. Granger, a well
known downtown business man, was
notified that he had been left S50,-
900 by a former Cincinnatian. Mr..
Lemuel Stockbridge. Mr.. Stockbridce
was q cotton speculator, and resided
in the Queen City when the late war
broke out. He had occasion to visit
Louisiana on IL purchasing tour and
took his invalid wife with him. While in
the Red River district he was inclosed
by the Federal lines and found it I'M
possible to proceed. His wife grew
very i'll, and her husband in his frantic
efforts to cross the lines came in con-
tact with Mr.. Granger, who was at
that time an alde-de-camp on the staff
of Gen. Ullman. Mr.. Granger took
pity on the Invalid wife and her hus-
band, and furnished them with pass
ports. Shortly afterward Granger
Dl ioI SCI lCc dIltt
obtained leave OF absence. Accom-
panied by his wife he took the steamer
at New Orleans, and was much sur
prised to find Mr.. and Mrs. Stock
bridge among his fellow passengers.
Old Friendships were renewed. While
passing through Louisiana the Con-
federate sharp-shooters fired on the
steamer, and Mrs. Stockbridge again
became violently i'll. The Grangers
were again friends in need, and when
the families parted at Cincinnati they
were steadfast friends. Strangely
enough, however, the Grangers never
saw their strangely found acquaint-
ances again. Mr.. Stock bridge amassed
a fortune of $3,OOO,OOO and returned
